persia_n etc._n etc._n the_o sea_n have_v no_o colour_n for_o our_o sight_n do_v not_o remain_v on_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o water_n but_o descend_v low_a and_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n

meteor_n six_o chapter_n decla●es_v where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o sea_n run_v from_o septentrion_n to_o the_o meridian_n the_o cause_n thereof_o be_v that_o its_o high_a in_o septentrion_n then_o towards_o the_o mer●dian_n and_o the_o reason_n wherefore_o it_o be_v high_a be_v because_o that_o the_o cold_a of_o the_o septentrion_n engender_v more_o water_n than_o the_o sea_n can_v contain_v in_o the_o space_n distance_n and_o height_n of_o its_o coast_n the_o water_n which_o be_v in_o the_o meridian_n consume_v and_o deminish●s_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n therefore_o one_o

because_o that_o it_o be_v moist_a run_v to_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o dry_a the_o reason_n why_o the_o water_n consume_v itself_o so_o much_o in_o the_o meridien_n part_n be_v because_o that_o the_o sun_n turn_v always_o in_o his_o excentrique_fw-la circle_n its_o cen●er_fw-la being_n not_o the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n so_o that_o if_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v pass_v between_o its_o centre_n and_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o diameter_n will_v be_v at_o one_o side_n and_o the_o lest_o at_o the_o other_o in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v show_v by_o geometrical_a reason_n that_o the_o great_a length_n of_o diameter_n be_v near_o the_o twenty_o degree_n of_o gemini_fw-la and_o that_o the_o least_o length_n be_v at_o the_o twenty_o degree_n of_o sagitarius_n opposite_a sign_n it_o appear_v 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o sun_n approach_v more_o near_a the_o earth_n in_o the_o meridian_n part_v then_o in_o the_o septentrion_n thus_o by_o its_o approach_a heat_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o it_o consume_v the_o water_n and_o burn_v the_o earth_n which_o he_o do_v not_o at_o the_o septentrion_n wherefore_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v saltish_a and_o and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o best_a for_o the_o navigati●n_n the_o matter_n which_o cause_v the_o s●a_n to_o be_v saltish_a be_v because_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort●_z of_o vapour_n viz._n hot_a and_o moist_a and_o hot_a and_o dry_a the_o one_o whereof_o evaporate_v from_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o other_o rai●eth_v itself_o from_o the_o bottom_n by_o force_n of_o the_o sun_n heat_n and_o that_o of_o the_o star_n which_o be_v efficient_a cause_n of_o its_o vapour_n and_o because_o that_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o water_n be_v very_o subtle_a between_o these_o two_o therefore_o it_o elevate_v its_o self_n in_o the_o air_n and_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o sun_n

the_o v●pour_n of_o the_o earth_n spread_v remain_v among_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o the_o coldness_n of_o the_o water_n p●shes_v in_o such_o coldness_n and_o

for_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o exhalation_n which_o issue_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n fortify_v itself_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o its_o contrary_a which_o be_v the_o

that_o the_o water_n be_v saltish_a then_o fresh_a for_o the_o saltish_a water_n be_v heavy_a than_o the_o fresh_a that_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v prove_v by_o many_o experience_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v take_v fresh_a water_n and_o mingle_v it_o with_o a_o good_a quanti●y_n of_o salt_n so_o that_o the_o salt_n melt_v and_o be_v dissolve_v in_o water_n then_o take_v a_o fresh_a egg_o and_o put_v it_o on_o the_o mixtioned_a water_n the_o thickness_n of_o the_o water_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o mixtion_n of_o the_o salt_n will_v bear_v the_o egg_o by_o its_o thickness_n and_o will_v swim_v over_o it_o the_o which_o in_o the_o fresh_a water_n descend_v to_o the_o bottom_n by_o this_o same_o experience_n be_v also_o demonstrate_v that_o a_o vessel_n will_v sink_v soon_o in_o fresh_a water_n then_o in_o salt_n water_n for_o the_o fresh_a water_n divide_v itself_o soon_o and_o close_v more_o light_o than_o the_o salt_n water_n of_o the_o different_a motion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o ocean_n sea_n great_a part_n of_o the_o water_n be_v engender_v in_o septentrion_n and_o run_v from_o s●pten●rion_n towards_o meridien_n as_o aforesaid_a when_o the_o tide_n increase_v we_o

thus_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o sea_n have_v contrary_a motion_n and_o different_a the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o seneca_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o the_o of_o the_o course_n water_n from_o one_o place_n to_o the_o other_o than_o the_o high_a and_o low_a place_n except_o that_o only_a motion_n by_o the_o which_o the_o sea_n increase_v and_o decrease_v for_o as_o

or_o decrease_v and_o thus_o the_o water_n do_v move_v by_o accident_n from_o one_o part_n to_o the_o other_o except_o towards_o the_o
bottom_n for_o such_o a_o motion_n do_v not_o happen_v by_o accident_n but_o by_o the_o proper_a essence_n agree_v to_o its_o form_n wherefore_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o overflow_v augment_v nor_o enlarge_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o overflow_v augment_v nor_o enlarge_v though_o ●o_z much_o water_n engender_v in_o it_o and_o that_o it_o do_v continual_o receive_v so_o

it_o be_v also_o because_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o air_n of_o the_o wind_n consume_v such_o a_o quantity_n of_o water_n that_o though_o the_o sea_n continual_o eng●nders_v and_o
